EXHIBIT A

Text of new subsection 3.3(f):

(f)     Payment of First Put Price and Second Put Price Related to Vested Options. The Company and the Stockholders acknowledge that: (i) as a result of the terms of the Agreement, the Company was required by GAAP to change its accounting treatment for stock options from the equity method of accounting to the liability method of accounting, (ii) the change had, and continues to have, a negative impact on the Company’s net tangible book value, (iii) in order to neutralize the effect of the change in accounting on the Company’s net tangible book value (the “Accounting Change Impact”), Progressive has provided cash to the Company in the amount of the liability recognized by the Company (the “Progressive Cash Advance”), and (iv) the Progressive Cash Advance amounted to $19.5 million through November of 2017, representing the estimate of the amount of the liability to be recognized by the Company through December 31, 2017. Therefore, the Company and the Stockholders agree that, notwithstanding Section 3.3(c)(i) through Section 3.3(c)(iv) obligating Progressive to pay certain amounts to the Stockholders, ARX (and not Progressive) shall pay such amounts to any Stockholder with respect to shares that are the subject of any vested option that is the subject of, and exercised immediately prior to, a First Put Closing, Second Put Closing or Second Call Closing (“Purchased Option Shares”), and after such payment date, (x) if the purchase price for such Stockholder’s Purchased Option Shares (the “Option Share Purchase Price”) exceeds the Progressive Cash Advance with respect to such Stockholder’s vested, exercised option, Progressive shall reimburse ARX the amount of such excess, and (y) if the Progressive Cash Advance with respect to such Stockholder’s vested, exercised option exceeds the Option Share Purchase Price for such Purchased Option Shares, then ARX shall pay to Progressive the amount of such excess. Progressive and the Company agree to continue to adjust the Progressive Cash Advance, at least annually, to reflect changes resulting from stock option valuations, stock option exercises, and terminations and forfeitures of stock options, in each case with the goal of neutralizing the Accounting Change Impact, and Progressive agrees to provide additional cash to the Company, and the Company agrees to reimburse cash to Progressive, as appropriate to reflect such adjustments to the Progressive Cash Advance. Nothing in this Section 3.3(f) shall be deemed to alter the requirements of Section 3.3(c)(i) through Section 3.3(c)(iv) related to the delivery of any documentation or funds related to the exercise of a stock option or the delivery of documents related to the First Put, Second Put or Second Call.

10

Exhibit 10.4

EXHIBIT B

First Put Price Calculation:

The per Share First Put Price shall be determined by the following formula:

Per Share First Put Price = PSP Price + ((BV¹ + the IT Amortization Adjustment) x M) + ((D x M) – D)

PSP Price shall be the per share price paid by Progressive to Selling Shareholders (as defined in the Progressive Purchase Agreement) at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Progressive Purchase Agreement (i.e., $1,249.54), as such price shall be adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or consolidation of shares, recapitalization or other changes in the corporate or capital structure of the Company (other than any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock) affecting the Shares after December 31, 2014.

The IT Amortization Adjustment shall be $3.72, as such amount shall be adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or consolidation of shares, recapitalization or other changes in the corporate or capital structure of the Company (other than any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock) affecting the Shares after the effective date of Amendment No. 1 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement.

BV¹ shall be the difference between the net tangible book value per Share on a Fully Diluted Basis on December 31, 2017 and the net tangible book value per Share on a Fully Diluted Basis on December 31, 2014. For purposes of this calculation, the net tangible book value of the Company on December 31, 2017 shall be determined by reference to the Company’s audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP as it is in effect at the time of such financial statements, but then will be adjusted, if necessary, so that the calculations are in accordance with GAAP as it is in effect for financial statements for periods ending on December 31, 2014 and applied in a manner consistent to its application when determining the PSP Price. The parties to the Agreement agree that Exhibit D describes the adjustments to be provided to the financial statements as of, and for the years ended, December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017 to implement the intent of the preceding sentence.

M shall be the multiple between 1.0 and 2.0 determined by reference to the matrix on Exhibit C.

D shall be the per share amount of any dividends paid, or distributions made, to stockholders (other than dividends paid or distributions made in Shares) by the Company between December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2017; provided, however, (i) that such amount shall be adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or consolidation of shares, recapitalization or other changes in the corporate or capital structure of the Company (other than any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock) affecting the Shares after the date of payment of such dividend, and (ii) any payments related to redemptions, repurchases or purchases of Shares by the Company with respect to some but not all outstanding Shares, or all outstanding Shares of a particular series of Shares, will not be treated as dividends or distributions for purposes of this definition.

Second Put Price Calculation:

11

Exhibit 10.4

The per share Second Put Price shall be determined by the following formula:

Per Share Second Put Price = PSP Price + (BV² x M) + ((D x M) – D)

PSP Price shall be the per share price paid by Progressive to Selling Shareholders at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Progressive Purchase Agreement (i.e., $1,249.54), as such price shall be adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or consolidation of shares, recapitalization or other changes in the corporate or capital structure of the Company (other than any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock) affecting the Shares after December 31, 2014.

BV² shall be the difference between the net tangible book value per Share on a Fully Diluted Basis on December 31, 2020 and the net tangible book value per Share on a Fully Diluted Basis on December 31, 2014. For purposes of this calculation, the net tangible book value of the Company on December 31, 2020 shall be determined by reference to the Company’s audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP as it is in effect at the time of such financial statements, but then will be adjusted, if necessary, so that the calculations are in accordance with GAAP as it is in effect for financial statements for periods ending on December 31, 2014 and applied in a manner consistent to its application when determining the PSP Price. The parties to the Agreement agree that Exhibit D (i) describes the adjustments to be provided to the financial statements as of, and for the years ended, December 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017 to implement the intent of the preceding sentence with respect to GAAP, and (ii) describes the adjustments to be provided to the financial statements for periods after 2017, subject to other adjustments that may be necessary to implement the intent of the preceding sentence as a result of changes made to GAAP for financial statements for periods ending after December 31, 2017.

M shall be the multiple between 1.0 and 2.0 determined by reference to the matrix on Exhibit C.

D shall be the per share amount of any dividends paid, or distributions made, to stockholders (other than dividends paid or distributions made in Shares) by the Company between December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2020; provided, however, (i) that such amount shall be adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or consolidation of Shares, recapitalization or other changes in the corporate or capital structure of the Company (other than any conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock) affecting the Shares after the date of payment of such dividend, and (ii) any payments related to redemptions, repurchases or purchases of Shares by the Company with respect to some but not all outstanding Shares, or all outstanding shares of a particular series of Shares, will not be treated as dividends or distributions for purposes of this definition.

		<=75	1.00	1.50		1.75		2.00		2.00		2.00		2.00

The multiple will be determined by reference to the Company’s cumulative and consolidated Net combined ratio (CR) and Direct Written Premium compounded annual growth rate (CAGR), for the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017 (for purposes of the First Put Price) and for the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2020 (for purposes of the Second Put Price), as indicated in the matrix above.

For purposes of the calculation of the multiple, (a) “Net combined ratio (CR)” shall mean the GAAP consolidated combined ratio of the Company and its Subsidiaries calculated in a manner consistent with “Net Combined Ratio” in the Company’s monthly management report for October 2014, and (b) “Direct Written Premium” means premiums written directly during the applicable time period, including policy fees, without taking into account reinsurance, calculated in a manner consistent with “Direct Written Premium” in the Company’s monthly management report for October 2014, and related to the lines of business written by the Company as of October 31, 2014. The parties to the Agreement agree that Exhibit D (i) describes the adjustments to be provided to “Net combined ratio” (or “Net CR”) and “Direct Written Premium” for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017 and future periods to implement the intent of the preceding sentence with respect to GAAP as it is in effect for financial statements for periods ending on December 31, 2017, and (ii) describes the adjustments to be provided to “Net combined ratio” and “Direct Written Premium” for periods after 2017, subject to other adjustments that may be necessary to implement the intent of the preceding sentence as a result of changes made to GAAP for financial statements for periods ending after December 31, 2017.

By way of example only, if Direct Written Premium is $1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and is $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, then the Direct Written Premium CAGR for the three year period would be 14.5%. [i.e., ($1.5 million/$1 million) = 1.5. 1.5^{^(1/3 )} = 1.145]

13

Exhibit 10.4

Further, by way of example, if Net CR is 90 and Direct Written Premium CAGR is 20%, then the multiple will be 1.5. If either Net CR or Direct Written Premium CAGR (or both) is between the values identified above, the results will be interpolated on a straight-line basis to generate the applicable multiple. By way of example only, according to the sub-matrix below reflecting an interpolation between a Net CR of 90 and a Net CR of 95 and between Direct Written Premium CAGR of 20% and Direct Written Premium CAGR of 25% , if Net CR is 92 and Direct Written Premium CAGR is 22%, then the multiple will be 1.36.
